I am a President and CEO of Swan Consulting & Associates, Inc., Co-founder of the Just-in-Time Cafe, and I co-host the Just-in-Time Cafe Podcast with Tracy O’Rourke.

I have over 30 years of experience advising public, private, and nonprofit organizations and helping them build problem-solving cultures.

I’m a translator. I love taking complicated topics and deciphering them so they make sense to myself and everyone around me.

I love helping people see the impact they have on others so they can harness that influence and use it for good.
